Social and Psychological Factors Associated with AIDS Risk Behaviors among Low Income, Urban, African American Adolescents.
Black, Maureen M.; And Others
Journal of Research on Adolescence, v7 n2 p173-95 1997
Studied factors associated with sexual intercourse and substance use among young, low income, African-American adolescents. Found that sexual activity was associated with parental conflict and having sexually active friends. Boys reported less parental monitoring and family and community support than girls and were more likely to report sexual intercourse. Early sexuality was not linked with other risk practices. (KDFB)
